What is Bitcoin Voting?
Bitcoin Voting is an innovative voting system in which participants make a small Bitcoin payment to take part in a survey or vote.
With the Coinsnap Bitcoin Voting plugin for WordPress, this payment is processed in sats (satoshis) – micropayments that are perfect for interactions on the web.
The idea behind it: Anyone who wants to vote must pay a small amount – e.g. 50 or 100 sats. This makes participation valuable, spam-resistant and bot-proof. At the same time, the site operator receives a small reward – in the form of Bitcoin.
Why paid votes?
In traditional online surveys, it is almost impossible to prevent bots, multiple participation or manipulation.
Coinsnap Bitcoin Voting solves this problem with a simple but effective mechanism: only those who pay are allowed to vote. And of course you can also specify that each visitor can only vote once!
Advantages of Bitcoin Voting:
- Protection against bots and spam votes
- Higher quality interactions through real users
- Small additional income through micropayments
- Low entry barrier for participants (a few sats)
- Full control over options, duration and conditions
Be creative and decide:
- How many possible answers there are (up to four)
- What choices your voters have
- How many sats a vote costs
- Whether multiple votes are allowed
- How long the voting runs for
- Whether additional information (name, e-mail, address) is requested – e.g. for competitions
How easy the Coinsnap Bitcoin Voting plugin works
The Coinsnap Bitcoin Voting plugin is specially developed for WordPress and is very easy to set up. It works with the Coinsnap Gateway (for which you don’t need any specialist knowledge) as well as with your BTCPay Server if you are an advanced Bitcoiner.
And, most importantly, with Coinsnap Bitcoin Voting you are completely independent of third-party providers or central payment services – so you don’t have to answer endless questions or provide extensive proof or documents: To bring Bitcoin Voting to your WordPress site with Coinsnap, all you have to do is register with your email address, your website URL and the address of your Bitcoin Lightning wallet.
Ready to go in just three steps
If you want, you can offer Bitcoin Voting on your website in just 10 minutes. It’s very simple:
Install the plugin
Download the Coinsnap Bitcoin Voting plugin from the WordPress plugin directory or from Github.
Configure a poll
Specify the voting options, define the price per vote and select the desired additional functions (e.g. conditions of participation, duration of poll, requesting information).
Place the poll
What are the technical requirements?
The technical requirements for using Coinsnap Bitcoin Voting are minimal. All you need is:
- an up-to-date WordPress website
- the Coinsnap Bitcoin Voting plugin
- a Coinsnap account (and if necessary your own BTCPay server)
- a Bitcoin Lightning wallet for receiving the sats
Example: A Bitcoin vote on your website could look like this
Imagine you run a Bitcoin blog and want your readers to vote on which Bitcoin Lightning wallet is the best. In the config-tab you create a poll with four options:
- Wallet of Satoshi
- Blink Wallet
- Strike Wallet
- Aby Wallet
You specify that each vote costs 21 sats (less than a cent at the current exchange rate). Your readers choose their favourite wallet, pay the amount via Lightning – and you not only get a real result, but also a small reward!
Bitcoin voting as part of a competition
A particularly exciting feature of the Coinsnap plugin is the option to expand the voting into a competition. You can specify that participants also leave personal details such as their name, email or address so that you can send them the prize if they win.
This makes Bitcoin Voting not only a tool for voting, but also a smart tool for:
- Customer loyalty
- Newsletter development
- Lead generation
- Community campaigns
In short: Coinsnap Bitcoin Voting is more than just a voting tool. With this plugin you can activate your followers, generate new income and gain interesting insights into the opinions and interests of your crowd!
For which WordPress bloggers or website operators is Bitcoin Voting worthwhile?
Bitcoin Voting is suitable for all WordPress operators who want to encourage genuine user participation and at the same time benefit from a small but steady stream of income.
The plugin is particularly worthwhile for:
Content creators and bloggers
Offer your community the opportunity to co-create content – in return for a small Bitcoin donation.
Shop operators
Let customers vote on new products or designs – and combine the voting with exclusive discounts or giveaways.
Clubs and communities
Organise democratic, tamper-proof votes within your community.
Startups and developers
Test feature ideas with real users – and use the payment principle to filter out only serious opinions.
Conclusion: Bitcoin Voting – the perfect combination of user participation and monetisation
Get more out of your website with the Coinsnap Bitcoin Voting plugin. You activate your visitors, offer them an interesting form of co-determination and protect your surveys from manipulation at the same time. And best of all: you earn a few sats with every vote.
The plugin can be seamlessly integrated into WordPress, is flexibly customisable and even offers the option of running competitions. For anyone who uses Bitcoin – or wants to try it out – this tool is an easy way to combine web interaction and Bitcoin microtransactions.
